I
translated a brochure for Christine O’Sullivan (Programme Assistant SPAW) from
English to French (World
Environment Day Reefs and Forests brochure).

The current SPAW website is not efficiently
arranged. Several documents are at disposal but they are not organized into
different sections. Christine asked me to read the
main SPAW documents (the SPAW Protocol, the SPAW Workplan and Budget and the
Action Plan for the Conservation of Marine Mammals) to think of a way to
rearrange the SPAW website.

SPAW
has recently signed some Grants’ Agreements with partner countries and
organizations to implement some projects (Guadeloupe/SPAW-RAC for the LifeWeb
Project, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for the Improving Capacity
in the WCR Project, CORALINA, the Dominican Republic and The Nature Conservancy
for the CLME Project). Christine O’Sullivan (Programme Assistant SPAW) asked me
to read these Agreements and to underline the deadlines concerning the
partners’ reports and the UNEP due payments.

CETA
was involved in the Green Expo in Kingston for the week-end to come. Tess Cieux
(Programme Officer for CETA) asked me to assist with the preparations for the
Green Expo. I assisted with the making of the badges.

Challenges
faced: I had already read and worked on
treaties but I had to get used to reading and working on Grants’ Agreements.

Lessons
learnt: Reading the SPAW official texts (both
treaties and Grants’ Agreements) enabled me to be more aware on the projects
SPAW is currently working on.
